Dual Mode Exhaust Failure
Well I purchased a Dual Mode exhaust. Installed it with the NPP in a box ( vacuum line from back of intake manifold to the rear of the car etc) after it working amazingly for about a month the catback's vacuum actuator over the passenger tips lost ability to hold vac pressure. so the system will not function.
Unfortunately GM will not sell the Actuators separately and now I am told to buy another $1500 catback. BUYERS BEWARE! IF THEY FAIL THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM!

Life in the world of modification and aftermarket parts. (albeit GM or someone else)
Hopefully some alternative measure can be found. Good luck.

Or post a picture of what you're dealing with and maybe we can scour Mcmaster Carr to find a suitable replacement.

I'm with Dusk on this one. Unless otherwise stated, ALL GM parts, over the counter or installed by the dealer, come with a 12 month, unlimited mile warranty due to faulty materials, workmanship, etc. Go that route. Don't know how the exhaust is warranted off hand, but check it out.

Looks like some of the vette guys have replaced them with electric actuators. I'm not turning up any vacuum actuators without buying someone's old mufflers...

Might be time to take the suspect actuator apart and see if you can fix it. You never know... it could be obvious what's wrong with it once it is apart, and with a little luck... even easy to fix.
